The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has revealed the 12 players elected to serve on the ITF World Tennis Tour Player Panels for the next two years.

The results follow the third election since the Player Panels were established in 2020, with seven members elected to the women’s panel, and five elected to the men’s. Both panels will continue to be chaired by Mark Woodforde and Mary Pierce, who also serve as athlete representatives on the ITF Board of Directors.

The panels provide a forum for players to provide their input and have their say on how the tour is run, with members elected by their fellow players.

The elected player members will serve a term from 1^st January 2024 until the end of the 2025 season and will meet at least two times per year.

To ensure broad geographical representation, there is a limit of two players per region on both the men’s tennis panel and the women’s tennis panel. Additionally, there is a limit on the number of players in the highest-ranking band on each tour’s panel (a maximum of two players with ATP rankings of No. 351-500 in either singles or doubles for the men’s tennis panel; a maximum of three players with WTA rankings No. 151-300 in either singles or doubles for the women’s tennis panel).

In addition, a coach may also be appointed to both panels. The ITF World Tennis Tour Committee and both Player Panels will be consulted on coach appointments.

The elected players are as follows:

Women’s Player Panel

Alex Osborne* (Australia)

Alana Parnaby (Australia)

Prisha Vyas (USA)

Sofia Shapatava* (Georgia)

Player members vote, where voting is required, on each tour’s panel to make recommendations to the ITF World Tennis Tour Committee. The chair and the coach are non-voting members. The panels advise and make recommendations to the ITF World Tennis Tour Committee, which in turn reports to the ITF Board of Directors.

David Haggerty, ITF President, said: “We have been encouraged by the growth and development of the ITF World Tennis Tour in recent years. Discussion with and feedback from the playing community is a key part of that growth and we look forward to working with the newly and re-elected members of the panel during their term. We are grateful to the following outgoing members for their contribution – Sravya Shivani Chilakalapudi over the last term, and over the last two terms - Conny Perrin, Ines Ibbou, Francesco Vilardo, Juan Pablo Paz and Niki Kaliyanda Poonacha.”
